Thank you for all the love and appreciation that everyone has given to Dada. He gave 70 years of his life to the film industry. He lived and breathed movies because all he knew from the age of 10 was movies. His father died when he was very young, so his father figures were K. Asif, Mehboob Khan, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt and a few other directors of the time. He worked with almost every actor of his generation and gave everyone a run for their money. It was anti-stress for the people who watched it on the screen and made everyone smile. After making 400 films, his legacy lives on forever. I asked him one day why the name JAGDEEP and he said to me with a smile (which was perpetually on his face) that he wanted to bring light to everyone’s life (jag-world, deep-light) . He never interfered in anyone’s life and always had a cheerful attitude and the lunches in his house were like a storytelling session where people of all age groups sat and listened like children. Thank you dada for passing on this knowledge and stories to my family and to me. Today I’m upset because there are so many things I wanted to ask you and so many things I wanted to say, but I guess it means for another time. I could go on and on about your achievements indefinitely, but I guess it’s time to let go. You are not here physically but you will always be in our hearts For those who have grandparents living with them or not living with them, PLEASE spend more time. I spoke to my Dada 2 days before her disappearance and my father passed the phone to her during the time. All he said to me was “aur beta kaise ho, you look very handsome”. This is the last thing my grandpa said to me and I don’t think I will ever forget this image. Make an effort to pick up the phone and talk to them for 2 minutes it will make their day because I promise that when the time comes for them to leave this world, you will regret it no matter how long you have spent together. As old, cranky and irritating as they have become, cherish and enjoy every moment with them
